    I find the smoked can be too strong sometimes, there's a fine line.

    Hickory FTW! :) Only thing is you're thirsty for the rest of the day, but plenty of beer usually clears that up :pac:

    Yeah the hickory are loaded with salt but lucky for me the anti-androgen makes you crave salt so I generally end up adding more, it's disgusting at times the amount I use, I've been known to add salt to popcorn and dry roasted peanuts, at the same time :o:D

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,581 ✭✭✭judas101

    Hickory smoked sandwiches with either brown or tomato sauce. They also go well in a BLT.

    rashers: normal rind off fried then accompanied by balltmaloe relish on turnover bread

    bacon: baked with mustard then on normal bread

    Meat and bread. The details of what type of bread or meat are largely ignored by myself.

    Evidence of the fat it was cooked in gets bonus points.:cool:


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,411 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    All of the above.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    mmmmm extra crispy streaky rashers on buttered bread with ketchup...

    *drool*

    <Troll> George Foreman grill to drain off the fat</Troll>

    I am a fan of thick cut hickory smoked rashers, very hard to get decent ones in the US. They prefer the scrawny, little fecks a yokes. :/

    where's the option to choose 'none of the above'

    Bacon/rashers = ROTTEN

    Ok, so I may have some explaining to do. L and T stand for lettuce and tomato. However, I do wash it down with some strong cider. So, it's not really that healthy. BLT's are lovely.

    Aw, Chew, what could have been.

    I am gutted. Unless you are vegetarian? That's ok (there's a joke in there about a different type of meat, but I am above that)

    You had me worried. Superquinn sausages ftw. Anyway, back on topic. It's good to see the hickory are winning.
